Longrifle's chances of joining M.O.M are beyond slim, I believe. Not that he has anything against M.O.M, but he is not fond of rules in general. He plays his own style, and wants no stigma or criticism for whatever squadron he's in.


Aside from rule 11, we don't have any real rules, do we? Everybody just kind of does their own thing which is why I love this squadron.


Question time. In a DF match with rule 11 in effect, would/do you ever consider killing a parachuting MOM with no other targets in sight? Think about it. MOM would receive 1 kill and 0 deaths. That's one less kill one of us needs to secure a MOM victory. Sounds good, right? Then again, any other plane/chute should take priority. What are your thoughts, fellas? Would you be offended if in a rule 11 situation, one MOM took your chute down?


And Bullet, Yes!

I understand your point about the additional kill toward a MOM victory, but, IMO, if rule 11 is in effect and it has been declared that I will shoot no MOM, then I will shoot no MOM. Now with that being said, I think you have a good point. It would not negatively impact the MOM being shot in the chute. So I would be in favor of a modification to rule 11 stipulating that this would be OK. Absent that, I will adhere to the rule and shoot no MOM.

I was wondering if you have been playing any more chicken in your plane lately. Got a kick (until it became boring) listening to the back and forth the other morning bout who caused the mid air collision. Found it curious that the other guy wanted you banned for running into him head on. Guess is controls were frozen (not). Not sure if he understood my who crossed the center line comment.

You're right about rules. The stigma is what I was refering to in M.O.M's case. The jerkweeds Wig mentioned tend to cast M.O.M in a negative light. You'd be surprised how many people have criticized and judged me, just because they think they don't like M.O.M. Hell, I used to think I didn't like M.O.M. I feel that this squadron would be ideal to Longrifle's liking, he just might not think so.



And Bullet:
You're getting predictable, guys. You can do better, right?

Another thought. MOM-A is tied for first place at 14 kills. Nobody is in MOM-A's radar other than MOM-B. The other 3-5 players are likely to be in range of the other guy tied for first. That's a lot of potential game enders. MOM-A might not have enough time to type "no more rule 11" and wait for MOM-B's acknowledgement before someone else gets that 15th kill. What do you do? Who me? Whether I'm MOM-A or MOM-B, I want that MOM-V!

And no, GAW. No chicken since then but it sure was fun hearing his plane explode as I zipped past and took his zeppelin points.

I am a big Oakland fan but when Baltimore brought a team back I became a fan of a second team the Ravens, however, Barry Sanders to me is the greatest running back to ever play the game, screw EMMETT Smith...

For me, rule 11 is rule 11. It's what makes MOM different and it's not reversible for chute shots or, once declared, unilaterally revocable because MOM A is at 14..... I've seen too many MOMs switch sides to join me in a suicidably outnumbered game simply 'cos they're MOMs. Anything less.....I think I'd probably leave

Chuck, I've offered myself up as a free chute kill to M.O.Mrades in free-for-all missions more than once, I'm all for contributing to a fellow M.O.M's score...but I get where Mark is coming from, too. While I welcome being shot outta my chute by a M.O.M I can't bring myself to do the chute shooting.

Hey Mac

Had the opportunity to tour Packer stadium a few weeks ago when we were back there on vacation.
Very nice stadium! Ate at Curly's, loved the fried cheese curds. The artificial / real grass turf was pretty
cool. Was told that Minnesota is going to use it in there new stadium and KC is as well in a few years.









Go Broncos!!

Hi all and happy Saturday/Sunday depending on your location!
Keep an eye out for sniper 18.I killed him in a BTB game as he was about to bomb our team hangars to be told fck you.I advised him as to his maturity to be given the same response.I then hunted him and shot him down about 10 times to be told I was gay!!Everyone in the game got the idea,swapped to blue and shot him senseless till he left!No need for his antics in this great game!!
On a better note-great to see Japan:Kuls join the fray of MOMzilla!!Welcome to another great player!!

Just a minor miscommunication, guys. Japan!Kuls had expressed an interest in joining M.O.M, we'd had a brief discussion in the Star Chamber, I wasn't aware that he'd already submitted a Join request. So, belatedly...

Japan!Kuls, welcome to M.O.M!

A top notch player and a genuinely pleasant presence in a game, Kuls is a great addition to the mob. I look forward to Rule 11ing him!

I'm at the point that I switch sides whenever I see a MoM in red now. Kinda hard lately though to get in a game where there isn't a MoM on both sides. Even in games where there are red MoMs, I have a leaning to let them pass by me unharmed to bomb my hangar or carrier, but if they fire on me first, then it's game on!

MacWing would work, Mr. Dix... Did Kieth tell you exactly what day that was, or will we be depending on Wigster to be supplying the details? I think it's a great idea. I never got to meet Duck, but still, the ability to participate in any kind of memorial for a deceased brother is a privilege. I'll keep checking for this idea to come to fruition, and will gladly be the first to hop on board.
